Hi All,
I am quite knew to SW and using VB to customize it. I adapted a program I found on the internet to create and fill in some custom properties for a part and then I linked them with notes in the title block to automatically update those notes.
Some of these notes are strictly related to the part and I store them in custom properties in the part, like material, weight, name, heat treatment, finish etc. (actually I should store them in properties of configurations, something which is on my list of "to do" things). Some of the notes in the title block are related to the drawing itself and I store yhem in custom properties of the drawing, like drawing date, drawn by, etc.
I would like now to be able to use a macro or a program to be able to read the custom properties from the part while I am in the related drawing, to show them up as read-only text boxes on the form I use to update the properties of the drawing.
About configurations, how do I retrieve the name of the current configuration of a part to know where to save the configuration custom properties values?
